“There’s a lot of overlap with Burnley’s run with the worst Premier League team right now in Huddersfield right now thrown in for good measure - they are bottom of the form table for goals-scored and shots taken.

“I’d probably get one defender in either Alfie Mawson (£5.0m) or Federico Fernandez (£4.4m) as they carry some goal-threat too.

“If you want to make up some ground in your mini-leagues maybe consider a double-up by getting Lukasz Fabianski (£4.6m) as well. He’s a save points magnet!”

Question 4: Taking hits

With the blank and double gameweeks coming up there are some managers worried about how they will cope before they turn up. With injuries and non-playing assets piling up, it can be tempting to think about the Wildcard now - even if it could be more powerful later.

Sam Williams asks: “Is it worth taking an 8 or 12 point hit now to help me save my Wildcard for the DGWs?”

He says: “I think an occasional -8 or rare -12 is justified if it means refreshing your squad while preserving your second wildcard until the Double Gameweeks.

“I would go as far as to say that regular -4 hits can be a healthy thing from a strategy perspective, provided you’re buying in-form players that continue to return points.

“You also have to hope that the player that you sell stops performing altogether.

“Avoid selling players for a hit that are in-form and starting matches regularly as any points they score would in essence have to be exceeded by your incoming players.

“It’s often best to take a hit for injured players and suspended players due to the lack of risk involved.

“With that said, transfer hits should be treated as long-term investments for your FPL squad and not done on a whim.

“You could incur regular ‘red arrows’ if you take a large number of hits and they fail.

“Tip: The best way to absorb a transfer hit is to do a ‘mini-wildcard’.

“By that I mean undertaking a hit if you also have two free transfers at hand.

“With this approach a -8 that brings in four players in essence becomes a -2 deduction per player rather than -2.67, thus easing the burden on your new recruits.”

Question 3: Time to ditch Chelsea?

After consecutive shock defeats against Bournemouth and Watford, with seven goals conceded in the process, FPL managers are considering pulling out of Chelsea cover.

FPL Kernow asks: “Chelsea face Man United away in GW28 and Man City away in GW29. As an Alonso and Hazard owner should I hold both? Sell both? Or just keep one of them?”

I’ve decided to take this one on! Here’s my answer:

“I think you’ve got to be very worried having those players in your team for the next few weeks. Chelsea’s 4-1 defeat to Watford on Monday night showed that the 3-0 home loss to Bournemouth was more than just a blip.

“What’s more, Alonso now has a muscle injury which is why he did not feature at Vicarage Road.

“I think for now you can probably keep them in your side. As has been discussed a lot in the FPL community this week, it would be good to hold off making transfers this week.

“That’s because it will allow you to make more for free after the FA Cup fifth round - that’s when we will have more of an idea what GW31 will look like.

“The fixture schedule for GW27 has been kind to Chelsea owners in that respect. Before they face Manchester United and Manchester City they’ve got a home tie against West Bromwich Albion.

“I’d be happy keeping Hazard for that and reviewing afterwards. As for Alonso, keep an eye on the press conferences this week to find out what to do with him.

“Antonio Conte implied on Monday night that the injury may not be too serious and if he still has a positive outlook later this week, again, hang on for one more week.”

Question 2: When to play your chips

This is a big topic right now as the blank and double gameweeks creep up on us.

“When is the right time to play all four chips (Wildcard/Free Hit/Triple Captain/Bench Boost)?”

“I recently wrote an article on this which you can find HERE,” he said.

“There’s actually a TL;DR at the end of the article.

“From now until GW31: Dead-end team

“GW32: Deploy Wildcard

“GW33: Roll free transfers

“GW34: Deploy Bench Boost

“GW35: Deploy Free Hit

“GW37: Deploy Triple Captain

“Though I’d also add the caveat that we don’t yet have all the information regarding Gameweek 31, so I would wait until after FA Cup Round 5 is resolved (mostly weekend after next, with replays 27-28 Feb during GW28) before settling on a final strategy.

“Rolling a transfer this GW is therefore highly recommended.”

Question 1: The best Arsenal cover

Our first question comes from Stephen Toumi who is eyeing up the Arsenal options after the Gunners thrashed Everton 5-1 this week.

He asks: “Arsenal looked sharp! As a Mkhitaryan owner, do you consider doubling up with Ramsey or look up top at Aubameyang from 29 on?”

We had FPL Nymfria take this one on. Here’s what she said:

“This is a tough question without seeing the balance of your team.

“But, as a general rule, if you already have an Arsenal midfielder in Henrikh Mikhitaryan and your set on bringing in another forward Arsenal player then Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could well be the way to go.

“Unlike Aaron Ramsey and Mikhitaryan, Aubameyang is cup tied for the Gunners’ Europa League matches.

“This means he’s much less likely to be rotated for FPL matches, unlike his team mates.

“Plus, If Mikhitaryan and Aubameyang can continue their Borussia Dortmund form of 59 goals and 31 assists from 2015/16 season, you’ll be in FPL heaven!”
